Mechanism of Action Comparison# Retatrutide# Retatrutide (LY3437943) is a 39-amino acid synthetic peptide that simultaneously activates three metabolically important receptors: GLP-1 receptor : Enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion, suppresses glucagon, slows gastric emptying, and reduces appetite through hypothalamic and brainstem signaling GIP receptor : Potentiates insulin secretion, may improve beta-cell survival, and contributes to adipose tissue metabolism and central appetite regulation Glucagon receptor : Increases hepatic energy expenditure, promotes fatty acid oxidation in the liver, stimulates thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue, and enhances lipolysis The glucagon receptor component is the defining innovation
THE RISKS AND THE RED FLAGS Like any medicine, GLP-1 therapy is not risk-free
To maintain your results, it is important that you hydrate, take in the right amount of protein, and exercise
Glucagon uniquely helps the liver release energy stores, says Vo
